I started listening to Dan+Shay’s debut album (Where it All Began) late last year and have been waiting for their second release for a while. I loved the first album and the promo singles for this one, so I had pretty high expectations.

Here is my (brief) track by track review:

1. All Nighter

Good song. High energy. I can imagine driving to this one.

2. Road Trippin’

Another driving song. I love the ad libs on this one. Nice visual.

3. From the Ground Up

This was the first single. I love this one. A little slower but still good. Seems like a good wedding song (Bieber agrees).

I didn’t like this one when they first released it as a single but it’s really grown on me. One of my faves from the album. On repeat. I would’ve preferred if they had a girl co-star in this video considering the whole idea of the song.

5. How Not To

To me this was the equivalent to I Heard Goodbye (from the first album) a.k.a. the sad break-up song, except I liked this one a lot more than I Heard Goodbye. I was definitely not expecting an interpretive dance video from Dan+Shay, but it worked really well and I really liked it!

6. Lipstick

First of all, the start of this song sounds a lot like N*Sync’s God must have spent a little more time on you

Another slower song. I like the idea behind this one. Definitely not what I would expect it to be about considering the title.
